Radeon: Direct firmware load for radeon/R300_cp.bin failed with error -2

[SinsBird]

Hello,

I'm trying to get ati radeon 200m RC410m graphics card driver to work on TC 12.0, but:

I'm not experienced linux user, what to check, try?

As per http://www.tinycorelinux.net/12.x/x86_64/tcz/provides.db or the apps gui

..R300_cp.bin is provided by the firmware-radeon extension.

Make sure you load this extension before any graphics drivers, i.e.

1. firmware-radeon
2. graphics-KERNEL
3. other graphics drivers

[SinsBird]

So in the onboot.lst I have it in this order:
firmware-radeon.tcz
graphics-5.10.3-tinycore.tcz
xf86-video-ati.tcz

[Juanito]

In Xorg.0.log, what do you see in the section analogous to this:

Code: [Select]

[    77.088] (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
[    77.088] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 1
[    77.088] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 2
[    77.088] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 3

[SinsBird]

Code: [Select]

[    29.851] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 1
[    29.851] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 2

[    29.851] (II) LoadModule: "ati"
[    29.851] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module ati
[    29.851] (EE) Failed to load module "ati" (module does not exist, 0)


[Juanito]

The message seems to indicate that the xf86-video-ati extension is not loaded (or you did not exit and restart the gui after loading it)?

Also, have you tried Xorg-7.7-3d

[SinsBird]

I don't know if I'm doing this right. I tried loading xorg from onboot as well as manually with tce-load after booting to command line with seemingly same results. I tried loading xorg-3d but when I type startx, it says failed in waitforX.

Wait, loaded the xf86-video-ati.tcz manually and I think it's loaded.

[SinsBird]

Okay, so it turns out I had accidentally removed the xf86-video-ati.tcz from onboot.lst, that's why it wasn't getting loaded. So now xorg log looks like this:

Direct firmware load still fails.

Hi SinsBird
From your  xorg.log:

Code: [Select]

[    29.042] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/local/lib/dri/r300_dri.so failed (/usr/local/lib/dri/r300_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[    29.042] (EE) AIGLX error: unable to load driver r300
[    29.042] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/local/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/local/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[    29.043] (EE) AIGLX error: unable to load driver swrastThose files are provided by  Xorg-7.7-3d.

If the fallback firmware load succeeds, that is fine.

[SinsBird]

I don't think it's fine because graphics performance is poor. In firefox scrolling web pages is choppy and I'm getting only 60 FPS in  glxgears :/
Oh I'm stupid...Vertical sync...

[SinsBird]

I think this is solved, thank you all! I guess choppy web browser is not caused by the graphics driver but something else? Because performance on windows and TC is night and day.
